Literally A Person posted:It's true. The only reason these things (tablet and cellphone games) are still being made is that they stimulate the same emotional responses as gambling and developers know that they can get any number of people to drop money like kids used to at the arcade on something that took an artist and developer three days and next to no money to make. Yeah, I saw that episode of South Park too. I like that they actually acknowledged the concept of the Skinner box in "freemium" phone games.

Give us a trip report when you're done, if only because the way it ended/the true villain was hilarious.

I like Pokemon go. I like organizing and categorizing stuff. A big aspect of the game is walking great distances, and I have to walk my kids 5-10 km a day. I also like how there's almost always spawns in parks, another place I spend way too much time at due to my kids. I like it. I have never played a pokemon game besides this one, though.

Inescapable Duck posted:I mean drat, if you're putting that much effort into sim scavenger hunt just buy the real Pokemon made by real game developers, you can explore virtual Hawaii and pat your Pokemon on the head. Yeah but then what reason do I have to go chill in the cool graveyard downtown and look at all the neat confederate-era graves with names like Crapon and Sandy Beaver? If I'm grinning at my phone, people assume it's the phone. Plus there's legitimately some cool mausoleums and stuff down there. It gives me a great excuse.

Pokey Go is a good thing because it motivates weird shut ins to get outside and exercise and meet other weird shut ins so they can flex their atrophied social skill muscles. Even better, they're doing it at like 3 AM so I don't have to see it.

I remember when I got into a link cable battle with some other kid while we were waiting for our sisters to finish gymnastics, he had a mew2 that he used the rare candy glitch on and I had my lvl 100 trained charizard. It was so funny how mad he got when I 2 shot him lol

i remember when my mom or whatever got me the freaking super nes or n64 idk cart that u could put ur pokemon game boy carts into and you could battle on the big screen. i think the controllers had ports too i think idk or maybe u shuffled them and it loaded it into cart memory i dont remember. but it was the pokemon arena game and i remember when i first say my op as gently caress gyrados (aka my best friend) fly out in full glorious 3d and start blasting fools with his extremely OP spells it was like the best thing. he was even cooler now. hard to believe the extremely OP gyrados could be even cooler but he was. i also really liked the electrode pokemon and liked the kamikaze move but it missed a lot. but sometimes it would proc and epic hit and kill some dudes mew2 or something. but i think it basically always missed. bull poo poo. imo. oh also parasect was cool. some kid told me to hold down+b while sleep powder animation played and it would proc the sleep debuff more often. i believed him lol. guess im a retard. seemed to work tho. confirmation bias i guess

I'm going to market a bullying app which is just rebranded PokeStop data. You just go to the location and wait and the nerds come to you.

It's kind of a shame that Pokemon Go is so well known by the general public. Hearing stories of Ingress players being aggressively confronted by security guards at 2 in the morning and being unable to make them understand what they were doing were always good for a chuckle
